Now would be a good time to say something about how space is the final frontier, or that the universe is vast and continuously expanding, but we'll spare you the cliché.
If you must know something about the intergalactic, Darren Romanelli, a.k.a. DRx Romanelli, and musician and filmmaker Sam Spiegel, a.k.a. Squeak E Clean, of the appropriately named indie-hip-hop group N.A.S.A., have that terrain covered with their new outerspace-inspired bomber jackets, sold exclusively at Opening Ceremony Los Angeles and online.
The "Mission to Planet X" collection features DRx Romanelli’s signature Tetris-style reconfigurations (in the past, he's reworked old Coca-Cola garments). Now, he’s taken military-grade Alpha Industry MA-1 flight jackets, sliced them up, and reworked them with DRx NASA "mission patches," custom Riri zippers, lambskin leather, and vintage '80s satin linings. In other words, these bombers are cosmic.
Spiegel’s story of the collaboration comes across as a kind of manifesto born out of a heavy case of space madness: “Romanelli and I have a weather balloon that we’ve pimped out... On one trip up, we were floating over the southern polar cap... It was cold and we didn’t have jackets. That’s when the idea struck Darren to do a collaboration that would end up being these super-fresh jackets." And that's the spawn of DRx Romanelli x N.A.S.A.
As if that weren’t enough to convince you to snag one of these super-limited jackets—there are only eight on offer—they also come with a detachable space-shuttle-shaped USB drive, featuring a six-minute jam session by the duo and even, yes, sounds of space.

"Five jams I’m currently listening to while working on the next N.A.S.A. record, out early 2015." —Sam Spiegel
1. Dessert - "Player"
"Dessert are these high school kids from LA who have some really dope shit."
2. Disclosure - "You & Me (Flume Remix)"
"Disclosure’s original of 'You & Me' was fire, and this Flume remix is one of the dopiest, sexiest bangers in a minute."
